I did a search for RPK info and found the bit about velocity( only 50 fps gain)
but no comments on RPK accuracy. I'm talking CIA builds I know a krebs will out shoot most other AK's but what about the wasr RPK's from CIA?
 
I don't think it is much more accurate than a standard AK. Think of it as a SAW; FA support for a squad.

Definately not a target rifle.
 
I was looking at one the other day and was kind of unimpressed. It didn't look like the barrel was any thicker than the normal WASR...just a bit longer. And a bipod attatched. And, they wanted $619 for it!

Real RPK's have a thick barrel...some with cooling fins (Yugo) and a different bulge in the receiver to accept the heavy barrel along with fatter handguards.

The WASR version looks to be a long barrel WASR...for what it is worth. Doubt it would shoot all that much better than the regular tube either.
 
I guess I'll be saving my money for a RPK kit and dig up a RPK type reciever some were.
